    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So I take it on balance that you think the last two years have been a shambles?. I think we can agree on that. Where I might differ is on your erroneous assertion that it was the " biggest majority in history" when the difference was 600,000 people out of 34,000,000 ticked one box other than...

    Well in fairness, I am a remainer who having read the text at face value also believed it to be impossible, so I am suprised. But it really does mean the clock is ticking... 3.5 months.

    The average salary in the UK is 27k , so for the average person the price of a bottle of plonk is no big deal.... Unfortunately average is not a good measure for a skew distribution, as it does include the CEOs ,the Medical consultants and footballers. Cleaners, Waitresses, Bar staff , Shop...

    Zathlan, just a point to ponder, you can live the good life there as a tourist because your lifestyle is bankrolled by a wealthy country. And your pensions or charter fees whatever are some multiple of what these people live on. The only time I had concerns for my personal safety ,and they...
